4.2.2 Selecting Your Image Quality
Image Quality:
The image quality (resolution) is measured in pixels per inch (ppi) (sometimes
referred to as dots per inch or dpi). Higher resolutions result in more detail in
the scan, slower scanning and in general, greater file sizes. For example, an A4
size color image scanned at Medium (300 dpi) with color mode consumes
approximately 25 MB of disk space. When OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
is to be performed on a scan, 300dpi should be used for most languages except
Asian languages.
